Reviews and Ratings

Douglas McMillan rated this wine as 86/100 with the following review:

Aromas of minerality, plum, and red cherry. The taste repeats the aroma, and there's a touch of rounded tannins. Basically a god solid red wine at a good price. Pair with pizza, sandwiches, or deli meats.
Carola Price rated this wine as 86/100 with the following review:

Dark reddish purple. On the nose it is plum and some acacia flower with a hint of black pepper and dark chocolate. Medium bodied with chocolate and plum coming through mid palette. Finishes a bit short but overall for the price this is one for a late night party or a great introduction to the world of Merlot. Pair with BBQ chicken, weiner shnitzel with dilled potato salad and with grilled cheese

Initial aromas of red fruit and plum with notes of sweet spice. Medium-bodied with a presence of tannins. Sour cherry on the finish. Tasted October 02, 2016.
Sylvain Segard rated this wine as 82/100 with the following review:

Not a particulary complex wine but an honest merlot for this great price.
Medium ruby, with watery rim. Plum nose with mild raspberry. Medium body, medium-low tannins, with sour cherry finish.
